I went to Bed Bath & Beyond and they didnt have that brand scale.I ended up buying a WW scale (LOL LIZ!) I hope that it actually works!! If not I give up on scales!!!!

Well all I can say is mine is a little bit annoying but I think it's pretty accurate! We can share our scale woes together, haha.

Well weigh in day, I'm at 216.2, so 3.4 lbs down! Wasn't that the same as last week? Anyways woo hoo!! Not too much going on today besides taking the kids to a playgroup, and I'm going to try to get some exercise in if I can get them both to nap at the same time, we'll see.

Good Morning Gals !!! Well I just had my weigh in for the contest here at work and there was no gain or loss ...which I expected since it said the same thing at home...I think with my two cheats this weekend I just sort of stalled here ....I feel like I have wasted a whole week but I just have to go on and move forward ...I have to remind myself that I have lost 30 pds and to be proud of that. But at this point I guess there is no way I am gonna win the contest...there are about 4 people ahead of me, and that sucks cause I could have used the 150-200 for extra vacation money.

AND ...because I messed up my BC pills and got an extra TOM last week, I will be getting my actual TOM next week ....makes me feel all warm and cozy inside ...haha

I cant remember, did either of you say you were watching Big Brother? If so it was a really good one last night ...Andrew made a real idiot out of himself. I know one of you ( or maybe both ) said you were watching True Blood and last weeks episode was so good ....they keep getting better and better each week....LOVE that show!!!!

Mel - I cant believe they stopped carrying them, that sucks...but oh well I am sure the WW one will be fine...yes, Fall is wondering, I cant wait for it either ....

Liz - CONGRATS :carrot::carrot: great job on the loss ....you are heading right towards Onederland now !!!

Hope you guys have a great day !!
Carri

Weighed in with my new scale and it said 217.5! I thought it was crazy so i tried my old scale and it said the same!! I haven't had as much time to really do any exercise but I guess running around doing stuff all the time/keeping my diet in super check is working!
I did my measuring bc I forgot wed and thought I would finally update inches lost since 5-26-10.

belly 3 1/4 inches lost
hips 3 inches lost
arms 1/2 inch off each :(
thighs 3 inches off each
neck 1/2 inch off
calves (only been measuring since 6-30-10) 1/4 inch off each
14 1/4 inches lost total since 5-26-10

Congrats on the loss Liz!! We are getting closer and closer to onederland!

Your right Carri,just get right back to what you were doing. I have had a few weeks where nothing happened but I just kept on going. You are already under your goal for vacation right?!

Edited to add: I just realized I'm at 25 pounds lost yay!!

Carri - You are right you are doing so awesome, 30 pounds is amazing! Plus one week is nothing in the grand scheme of things...just keep going, baby!! :carrot:

Mel - Awesome!! We are so close to each other, and yes we will be in onederland soon! And your inches lost are so impressive, I really need to start measuring. I'm going to measure at some point today.

Well I do have both kids napping now, but I do not feel like exercising. We were out most of the morning at a park, so at least I was on my feet most of the day. DS is going to grandma's for dinner so maybe I can do my tape (yes I am in the dark ages, I still use a tape for my workout) when DH gets home.

Oh and about True Blood, I just started watching season 2, so I have a ways to go to catch up!!

I am very glad that I have been measuring bc if it wasn't for that I wouldn't see any difference. I look in the mirror and don't see any change :( But the inches is making me feel better lol I have no motivation to exercise today but I'm sure I'll be running around doing something outside soon. The boys birthday party is tomorrow,I will be glad when its all behind me (is that bad to say lol). I know everyone will have a good time but a ton of young kids together plus cake will be crazy!!

Mel - great job on the weightloss ...Liz is right you and her are neck and neck in this race...haha ...slow and steady ....nice to see those inches go down too ...I need to measure myself soon...

I'm hoping to be in onederland by Halloween or a little after :) And 190 (weight I met DH at) by Christmas...what a present that would be!!

Hi Girls - I would love to be about 170 by Christmas,..that would be 35 pds in 5 months, or 7 pds a month ...I think I can do that since I lost the 30 in 4 months...that would make this Christmas GREAT ...but I would really have to be careful about the holiday treats, haha...

Carri

Hey Arabella!! Welcome back, I remember you from last time I was involved with this thread! Thanks for the idea on pizza, that sounds really good...I'll have to try it out.

Carri - My goal is 174 by January for my kid's birthdays, I don't know if I'll get there but that's what I'm hoping for. I think I need to lose about 2 lbs every week to get there, which is kinda lofty, but hey shoot for the moon, right??

Mel - 190 by Christmas sounds great!! What is your ultimate goal weight? I saw a girl your height on last 10 lbs bootcamp, I think she ended around 185, and she looked awesome! If I could grow about another foot, my weight would be just about right. ;)

Well girls I am happy today, I fit into my size 14 pants, they're a relaxed fit and I have a bit of a muffin top but hey they're wearable!! lol Hope everybody has a great day!

Thanks for the idea with the pizza Arabella!

Liz-Congrats on the 14s!! I cant wait until I can fit into mine!

Carri- You can totally make that goal!

My ultimate goal is 168 because I will be in the top of the "healthy" BMI scale. I actually liked the way I looked at 190 so getting there first will be a huge thing for me!

The boys birthday party went great yesterday! I had a fiber one bar for breakfast and 2 pieces of cheese pizza for early dinner during the party. I said no to cake,ice cream,chips and soda! I did however just give in and had a piece of cake...big mistake bc now I feel really sick (guess my body says "no we dont want that junk!").:nono: I weighed in this morning and it said 215.4 :) I was 216.2 yesterday so I feel safe moving the ticker to 216, I just hope this cake doesnt mess me up for tmw (if it does-lesson learned and move on!).Maybe I can get back on my exercise schedule,I havent been offically working out at all so hopefully with school starting soon I can! At 216 I'm half way to my first goal! :yay:

Its a new month ladies so lets rock it!!

P.s. My little boy turns 4 tomorrow :cries:

Morning Everyone, hope you all had a great weekend ...I did ...but food wise I had some set backs yesterday, just high on the calorie side ...was more hungry this weekend but TOM is on the way ( my 2nd one, haha ) ...

Arabella - YAY !! I am so happy to have you back ...good idea on the pizza , I do something like that once in a while when I get really craving it.

I think all of our goals are quite do-able as long as we stick to it for the long haul ...I just wanna be down quite a bit by Christmas as most of my family members only see me at the holidays so they havent seen me since last year...it would be very noticeable to them. :D

So on we go !!!

Carri

Mel - Now I definitely think these are very relaxed 14's if I can get into them and you can't get into 14's yet - since you are so much taller! Oh well, lol...I can still enjoy looking at the tag, haha. Glad to hear the boy's birthday party went well!! And Happy Birthday to your little guy today! I'll be crying too come January. ;)

Carri - Blah on the second TOM! And yes it would be a lot of fun to surprise your family come Christmas!

Well this morning I weighed in at 214.8, woo hoo! :)
